I've tracked the complications I'm seeing, and it is something to do with ACPI calls causing the machine to hang up - I think my BIOS is just nuts actually... > When I launched the X -configure this time, it printed the following stuff > out on the console: > MSR 26e, old=1515151515151515 new=101010101010101 > MSR 26f, old=1515151515151515 new=101010101010101 Yep - 0x15 is what the bios is setting the MTRR to, which according to most documentation should cause a GPF. The old code goes mad when it finds these undocumented values. The 0x01 value X is writing in should be perfectly legal, so I don't understand why it is upsetting ACPI calls. > Mike Smith would certainly be the man to review your patches since he wrote > much (all?) of the original MTRR code. If Mike could review them, that would be perfect as he is probably the best man to comment on the ACPI interaction. I'll see if I can find anyone else to cast an eye over them. Should I aim to get these into 4.6? David. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
